School's In Session

In a market saturated by unispired design, regurgitated themes and imagery, Public School NYC is the new kid in the class with a full line of smart, high end casual wear.

If you have ever walked into Arrive Miami, one of the finest retail spots on this side of the Atlantic, you would know that they stock an expertly curated selection of classic staples, and buzzworthy brands ranging from causual t-shirts to high fashion brands such as the now defunct Cloak and Maison Martin Margiela
.  It may seem odd to have a pair of $65 Nikes next to a pair of $400 sneakers by Yohji Yamamoto, but for many it all makes sense to combine "streetwear" and designer goods as the lines of distinction are getting blurrier every day.  It would make sense that Public School NYC, a new brand from the guys behind Arrive manages to combine the streetwear aesthetic with the quailty and detail ususally seen on luxury brands. Coming heavy out the gate, Public School's line consists not only of t-shirts, but beautiful leather jackets, knits and  buttondowns.  The line takes its inspiration from rebellion and it is clearly refelcted in the collection which gives off an extremely cool (in the true sense of the word) vibe. 

Public School is avaliable at Barney's New York starting this February.  For a full list of stockists, visit www.publicshcoolnyc.com
